august 2


Continuing with more of my musical equipment, today I'm saying goodbye to these two light controller pedals. These came with a stage lights setup that my band uses, however in the past eight years that I have been using the lights, I have never used these pedals. To add to it, these pedals do not even work properly. For eight years, I have been shuffling these things around my house, holding onto them with the thought that if I were to ever sell the stage lights, I could sell these along with it. But that doesn't change the fact that they are broken, and even if I did sell them why would a buyer want broken pedals, doesn't seem like a make or break selling point.

Throwing out a couple broken pedals might seem like an easy and obvious choice for anyone to get rid of. However, there's one thing that you have to understand about me. I'm a completionist. For as long as I can remember I have attempted to keep everything from every thing. Spoiler alert: I have boxes of cables, chargers and adapters, I even have boxes of boxes and packaging that things came in. Now, I have sold a lot of stuff on craigslist, eBay, amazon and other outlets yet the monetary difference between a complete vs incomplete item is minuscule. Obviously, I know that there are certain collectible items that will generate a higher resale value as a whole, but generally, a missing cable, screw, adapter or even a broken pedal is not going to impede ones ability to sell something. 

So, here I am, breaking the cycle. Goodbye pedals, I've moved you for the last time.
